SUMMARY:Canceled- May 4\,2022 - Lewis Farm Sanctuary - Wednesday 8:30 am
DESCRIPTION:Canceled \nMay 4\, 2022 – Lewis Farm Sanctuary  – Wednesday –  8:30 am \n1035 Hill St\, Suffield \nPark off road on WEST side only (by sign for Sanctuary)  \n Use caution: poor sight line for passing cars \nPlease join Abby on a trip through this slice of heaven on Hill Street. The Audubon property has been near and dear to Abby’s heart since she was old enough to follow her 3 brothers down the hill in search of wildlife. Now\, decades later the sanctuary still calls her name.  She has sought out the quiet trails on days when she has had a heavy heart and on those days when her world was full of joy.So bring your binoculars\, apply some bug spray  and wear light hikers as we set off on the beautifully maintained trails in this sanctuary.  We will cover mixed terrain of low hills and mostly dry trails\, crossing a babbling brook and meandering around a pond.   We  will keep our eyes peeled for warblers and other spring birds.  When our necks are tired from scanning the treetops\, we can admire the variety of wildflowers that sprout up near the trail. Join us  for a couple of hours as  we explore this very special property. \nPlease contact Abby if you have any questions:\nAbby Wolcott              abwol81@cox.net          860-436-7667 T

DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Joe Attwater \nSocial Time at 7:00 pm/ Meeting at 7:30 pm \nSt James’s Episcopal Church\,1018 Farmington Ave\, WH \nWarblers are one group of migrants that birders and non-birders alike look forward to seeing during migration.

Joe is the Conservation and Education Coordinator at CT Audubon Society’s Roger Tory Peterson (RTP) Estuary Center.
